point as the ideal cycle time event trigger, and then set the
actual ideal cycle time using a FactoryTalk Transaction
Manager expression:
1. Click Select.
The Select Data Point dialog box appears.
2. Under Filtering Tools, in the FT Transaction Manager
Topic/Device list, select the device from which you want
to load data points.

The Data Points area at the bottom of the dialog box is
populated with data points for the selected device.
